Into Theveil
The season of their loving
hung in the warm glow
enjoined by streams
under
canopies of green
he extended his hand
asking her into eternity
not wanting to lose her
to reveries
and fading memories
he knew that his time had come
he promised her
there was nothing to fear
he beckoned
as flesh and bone
were shed like snake skin
thinning
..the veil peeled away
....karma had not finished with her
lifting her hand in the dark
she felt his fingers slipping away
what she could not yet do..
he was now on the other side
...she chose not to follow him through
dark mists round blue archways closed
...another world briefly exposed
she glimpsed his face one last time
pleading for her to follow
...to leave behind space and time
reveries hold his face
she is a heartbeat with half a soul
...she let him go
....soon to follow
life was not hers to give
.....but after all
time is only relative
